Course Outline

Module 1: Introduction to Security Metrics and KPIs

  • Defining security metrics and KPIs
  • Understanding the importance of security metrics and KPIs
  • Identifying key stakeholders and their roles
  • Establishing a security metrics and KPIs framework

Module 2: Types of Security Metrics and KPIs

  • Quantitative vs. qualitative metrics
  • Lagging vs. leading indicators
  • Input vs. output metrics
  • Understanding metric categories (e.g., threat, vulnerability, incident)

Module 3: Data Collection and Analysis

  • Identifying data sources (e.g., logs, surveys, sensors)
  • Understanding data types (e.g., quantitative, qualitative, ordinal)
  • Data visualization techniques
  • Statistical analysis and data modeling

Module 4: Security Metrics and KPIs for Threat Management

  • Threat intelligence metrics (e.g., threat actor, TTP, IOC)
  • Vulnerability management metrics (e.g., CVSS, CWE)
  • Incident response metrics (e.g., MTTD, MTTR)
  • Threat hunting metrics (e.g., hunting efficiency, threat detection rate)

Module 5: Security Metrics and KPIs for Vulnerability Management

  • Vulnerability scanning metrics (e.g., scan coverage, vulnerability density)
  • Patch management metrics (e.g., patch coverage, patch cycle time)
  • Configuration management metrics (e.g., configuration compliance, drift detection)
  • Vulnerability remediation metrics (e.g., remediation rate, remediation time)

Module 6: Security Metrics and KPIs for Incident Response

  • Incident classification metrics (e.g., incident type, incident severity)
  • Incident response metrics (e.g., response time, resolution time)
  • Incident containment metrics (e.g., containment rate, containment time)
  • Post-incident activities metrics (e.g., lessons learned, incident report quality)

Module 7: Security Metrics and KPIs for Compliance and Governance

  • Compliance metrics (e.g., compliance rate, audit findings)
  • Risk management metrics (e.g., risk assessment, risk mitigation)
  • Security awareness metrics (e.g., awareness rate, awareness effectiveness)
  • Security governance metrics (e.g., governance structure, governance effectiveness)
